DAC Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in Development Cooperation

The topics covered are of particular relevance to the design and implementation of locally-owned strategies for sustainable, people-centered development. They range from broad policy issues to more specific sectoral themes. They make specific recommendations for donors, and also recognise the roles of others. A final chapter relates gender equality to other economic, social and environmental goals in the development co-operation agenda for the 21st century. In the course of preparing the guidelines, the authors developed a valuable collection of resource materials which they compiled into a separate publication. The DAC Source Book on Concepts and Approaches Linked to Gender Equality.
